Today was a gorgeous day, and the cream on top was a fabulous sunset that I could see right from my front door. The colors in winter seem to be so much more intense. It looked as if the sky was on fire.
This is what I saw when I looked Southwest. However, when I turned my head to the Southeast I saw this:
I love these eucalyptus trees, although they are quite messy trees. Their smell, however, is unique and unmistakable.
To the west, the sky was all pink and purple. It quite took my breath away.
And this is how all this was reflected in the birdbath:
Hi Carola,
ReplyDeleteThis is splendorous and gorgeous--and makes me homesick for California!!! I hope you're having a beautiful holiday season!!!

Extraordinarily beautiful colors. What a view you have!!!
ReplyDeletestunning... I really like the pic of the sky in the birdbath... I'm still plodding along learning to use my Canon - especially at night...
ReplyDeleteHow very beautiful and you captured it all beautifully.(-:
ReplyDeletegreat shots!! On fire is right,,,at first I thought you were showing us some of California´s herendous forest fires...luckily it is just a "blazing" sunset and a beauty at that! Super reflection in the birdbath too!
ReplyDeleteYour photography is stunning! That pink and purple sky is amazing - I love the show that winter brings, each season has it's treasures. TFS!
ReplyDeleteFantastic colours. Maybe we should move......!

Oh, wie schön, das verschlägt mir ja glatt die Sprache, der Sonnenuntergang ist ein Traum. Ich wünsche dir eine schöne neue Woche.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! Yes, it's one compensation for the fact that it gets dark so dang early... the fabulous sunsets!!
ReplyDeletefantastic! what a blessing to have such views from your door step!
ReplyDeleteWOW - these photos are stunning! If the camera produced this result, I can only imagine how utterly spectacular it must have been to actually SEE it!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, Carola
Beautiful~!
ReplyDeletebeautiful sunsets always stop me dead in my tracks, always have. how can something be so utterly exquisite..well, it's nature...of course it can be :). out here there is nothing better than an early evening 'sundowner' whilst out in the bush somewhere...listening to the night sounds, birds and wild animals - can't think of anywhere i'd rather be :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pictures, especially the last one.
ReplyDeleteHey Carola, you did this sunset proud! Looks like a very beautiful spot where you live. It is nice to have different views, isn't it? Thank you for sharing.

I've enjoyed scrolling through your blog enjoying your photography. I too can be seen walking everywhere with my camera in hand pointing and shooting at just about everything.
ReplyDeleteThanks for coming to my blog today. I hope you will return. I am sure I'll be back here as well.
Happy New Year!
